COMMITMENT TO SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE

Croquet Victoria is committed to ensuring that every croquet participant, including children and young people, has a safe and happy experience, free of abuse, harassment, bullying or any other form of inappropriate conduct.

We support the active participation of all children. We listen to their views, respect their views and involve them when making decisions, where appropriate, especially about matters that will directly affect them (including their safety).

We are committed to consulting with parents and with the community.

We are committed to ensuring cultural safety for all.

We are committed to implementing the eleven Victorian Child Safety standards, which include additional focus on the safety and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children; involving families and communities; and online safety.
